DOES ANYBODY IN EUROPE WEAR CLOTHES?
The 26-year-old told police that running nude allowed his skin to absorb more oxygen.

"I think it's a great way to promote tourism here," Ludwig told Reuters
on Tuesday after Bild newspaper published a picture of two women
wearing nothing but rucksacks on the trail. "There's already been a lot
of interest in it."

(Yes, we know New Zealand is not in Europe. It is in Australia.)
He wasn’t entirely unattired though. He was wearing running shoes, a cap, sunglasses and a pouch around his waist....and the young man agreed to wear more clothing from now on.
Socks?

I was unaware that women had rucksacks. What's a rucksack?

Like we believe that serious sentences shouldn't like have the word 'like' in them.

Yoiks! New Zealand is not "in" Australia any more than the US is in Canada. It's just next to it like the toast in a cereal commercial. .Unless you were going for irony that I couldn't detect, in which case :-(.

One look at the New Zealand pic and my only thought was, "They could sure use more orthodontists in NZ."

I'm fascinated by the first New Zealand shot. How does someone get skid marks on her boobs, anyway??

Sounds like Hansel and Gretel may need updating.

Thanks Soux, looks like the old folks' home in Lakeland could use an orthodontist too.

Naturism fans have been monitoring progress of the trail in Internet chatrooms for months and a band of naked hikers took a test walk on the not-quite-finished trail in May.
RBR's on tour again?

Dave displays his superior American geographical education. Most Americans think that NZ is in Middle Earth.

This could make that trip to Europe more cost effective. No luggage!

I'd like to see some Maori.
Oh, wait. Maybe I have.

Boobs on Bikes has a fascinating photo exposé attached. Doesn't even require beads. Most excellent.
